Your Essential Guide to Cologne Carnival!

This is your essential guide to experiencing the best of Cologne Carnival! From where to find the best parties, parades and where to stay!

When is Cologne Carnival?

The main Cologne Carnival Season which is referred to by the locals as "the fifth season of the year" officially begin on the 11th November, at 11:11am and finishes on Ash Wednesday. Cologne Carnival events, which are called the " crazy days " which begins on Weiberfastnacht which is the Thursday prior to Shrove Tuesday and ends on Ash Wednesday.

A Celebration Crazier Than Oktoberfest!

Cologne Carnival Started in The Middle Ages

What is the history of Cologne Carnival? Cologne Carnival is almost the same age as the city of Cologne itself. People have been celebrating carnival in Cologne since the Middle Ages. In its current form Cologne Carnival has only been celebrated for about 190 years.

The origins of Cologne Carnival started with Germanic tribes who used to celebrate the winter solstice to worship their gods and exile evil winter demons. Christians later adopted these customs giving them Christian meanings.

The Crazy Days!

Cologne is Germany's undisputed Carnival King, and the highlight of the carnival season is the six days before the onset of Lent known as the " Crazy Days". This is when carnival fever takes over the entire city, and for six days Cologne is filled with parties, parades and balls.

During " The Crazy Days" millions of high-spirited Germans flood the streets of Cologne wearing the wackiest costumes, while the beer flows freely. Parties occur everywhere in Cologne, in the streets, public squares, restaurants and pubs which stay open for the entire duration of Cologne Carnival.

They say the world turns upside down during Cologne Carnival, bad behaviour is not just tolerated but totally acceptable. You can spend the days and nights partying away. You can act like a drunken hooligan or mock the elites without consequence. Men can dress as women and the working class can parade through the streets like royalty.

Costumes Are Essential!

If you want to join the party, then costumes are essential! The good news is that anything and everything goes, and the wackier and more outrageous your carnival costume, the better! Costumes at Cologne Carnival are more about having fun rather than being fancy.

You will stick out like a sore thumb if you head to carnival in normal clothes. We recommend putting on a costume literally every time you leave the house during the crazy days. The entire city is dressed up, no matter your age. You either dress up, or you leave town. You will see all sorts of costumes - Star Wars characters, fairies, nuns, politicians, ghosts, animals, pirates, celebrities, anime, movie characters, you will see everything possible at carnival.

Cologne Carnival 2023 Event Schedule

Carnival Friday - Feb 17, 2023
Here are the top events Cologne Carnival Events:
As we approach the weekend of Carnival, Friday evening sees numerous parties, balls, concerts and other private events taking place.

Carnival Saturday - Feb 18, 2023

Carnival Sunday - February 19, 2023

Rose Monday Parade - Feb 20, 2023

Weiberfastnacht (Shrove Tuesday) - Feb 21, 2023

A traditional day where there are more parades and people pack into the old town dressed in costumes. All the nightclubs and bars in the old town are packed with partying revelers.

The Burning of the Nubble - Feb 22, 2023 Midnight

This spectacle is the official and symbolic end of carnival and takes place on Tuesday at Midnight. The carnival mascot known as Nubbel, who is a large straw doll, is set on fire at the end of carnival. He is used as a carnival scapegoat and his burning represents all the sins of the previous year.

Carnival Thursday - "The Crazy Days" Begin

German music pumps out of all the bars, pubs, restaurants as people party in and outdoors dancing away and celebrating while drinking schnapps and beer. Cologne's old town full of brewhouses draw crowds of thousands, while the younger generation parties close to the student districts. The partying lasts all day and late into the next morning for those that can handle it.

Women's Carnival Day

Also, on Cologne Carnival Thursday is the Women's Carnival Day. From very early in the morning, all the streets are filled with ladies wearing fancy-dress in their normal day to day lives. You will see women wearing fancy dress to work, the office, or the shops. It is an old carnival tradition.

Cologne Carnival Friday - Recovery Day

At night several thousand will come together in Alter Markt Square where they will light sparklers and sing Carnival songs.

Cologne Carnival Weekend

Saturday and Sunday are pretty quiet carnival days. A Cologne Carnival tradition is to have a "Frühschoppen", which is an early morning drink that occurs at 10:30am at . On Saturday evening there is the "Geisterzug" or Ghost Parade, some masked balls, and parties galore.

On Carnival Sunday, most of the Cologne neighbourhoods will see some form of parade march through their neighbourhood. Some of the school and neighbourhoods' parades will be held in the Cologne City Centre, and there will be more parties and masked balls held in the evening.

The Ghost Parade

The Ghost Parade began back in 1991, when the Rose Monday Parade was cancelled because of the Second Gulf War, because anti-war protesters marched down the parade route. The protestors were joined by carnival groups and revellers all expressing their outrage. The protesters were dressed as Grim Reapers, ghosts, vampires, monsters and other spooky costumes, and the tradition continued.

Rose Monday Parade - The Peak of Cologne Carnival

When the Rose Monday Carnival Parade finishes the celebrations go long into the evening, continuing in the many halls, restaurants, breweries and pubs around the city.

Tuesday - The Burning of the Nubel

During Cologne Carnival, all over the city you will see the Nubbel straw dolls hanging in pubs and shops that are taken down at the end of carnival and burnt. The Cologne locals use the Nubbels as scapegoats and blame all their misdeeds and wrongdoings that occurred during carnival on the dolls.

Ash Wednesday

Ash Wednesday is the official start of Christian Lent. It is tradition for Catholics to go to church for repentance. It is also tradition to eat a fish dinner which is served in all the restaurants and pubs across Cologne. At midnight a torchlight procession is held which is a unique and beautiful experience.

Where to Watch the Cologne Carnival Parades

If you want to get a good spot along the parade route then you have to get there early. The most popular and crowded spots are around the Cologne Cathedral Plaza, Hohe Straße and Severinsstraße. Areas that are less chaotic are the area between Friesenplatz, Appellhofplatz and Löwengasse and Mühlenbach.

Unfortunately, some of the best spots along the parade route are occupied by hotels and companies who set up grandstands. You can purchase tickets to these grandstands that can cost anywhere between €50 and €150. The more expensive tickets will usually include food, drinks and access to a bathroom.

Best Places to Party Cologne Carnival
Cologne Carnival Parade Route:
You will not have a tough time finding where the parties are held during carnival. All you have to do is head into the city centre and you will see that there are parties everywhere. The parties go all night and into the next morning. There is lots of drinking, dancing and singing. Even if you go out alone, you will make friends in no time because everyone is in excellent spirits.

The best place to start is to just head into the Old Town or the nearby brewhouses. This area is party central and you will find a party on just about every corner in Cologne Old Town. Tens of thousands of people flock to the area, particularly around Heumarkt and Alter Markt. The younger generation tend to party around Zülpicher Straße or Chlodwigplatz, which is a student area. Parties take place in all the shops, bars, pubs, cafes, restaurants and flow out onto the streets.

One of the most photographed spots in Cologne is Fischmarkt. This is a busy party area during Cologne Carnival. While it is a very crowded and chaotic area to party in, it is filled with street vendors selling food, alcohol and there are also bathrooms you can use for a small fee.

Where's Waldo?

You will see red and white Koln FC decorations hung up all around the town. One of the parade highlights is when the beloved football team makes an appearance in the main parade. They throw candy and flowers from onboard a bus to the delight of the crowd.

Sing Your Heart Out

Music is an integral part of Cologne Carnival, and the Carnival bands perform hit after hit. You're not in Cologne if you can't hear the happy German carnival tunes pumping out of speakers all over the city. Even if you don't understand the lyrics, the songs are incredibly catchy and uplifting.

Cologne Carnival Season Begins at 11:11 on 11/11!

Every year the Cologne Carnival season officially kicks off on the 11 th November at 11:11am, when around 70,000 carnival-goers pack into Heumarkt Square, Cologne to celebrate the opening of Cologne Carnival Season together.

Cologne Carnival is opened by the three main carnival figures who are collectively known as the Dreigestirn. They consist of a Prince, a Peasant, and a Virgin, and the characters embody the spirit of Cologne Carnival. They are joined by traditional Cologne Carnival bands and the city square erupts into a carnival pandemonium.

Costumed revellers dance and sing the day away with the program not ending until early evening. The party doesn't end there but continues on in many pubs and restaurants around the city. Cologne also hosts some carnival theatre performances, and masked balls.

Where to Stay During Cologne Carnival?

Old Town - Best Place to Stay to be Close to Carnival

If you want to be close to carnival action, then there is no better place to stay in Cologne than the Old Town, called Altstadt-Nord in German. Not only are you close to all the main tourist attractions, but you can easily walk to all the street parties, pubs and parades. See accommodation in the Old Town Cologne.

Luxury Hotels in old Town

New Town - Close to the Carnival Celebrations but a little quieter than Old Town

If you actually want to get some sleep, but you want to still be close to the action, then we recommend staying in New Town, or Neustadt. Around 1880, Cologne was 'expanded' outwards in a semicircle around the oldtown creating New Town. This is a great place to stay because you are still so close to all the carnival action, without being right in the middle of it. Also, the area has more modern accommodation options. See accommodation in the New Town Cologne.

Belgian Quarter - Trendy Area with Amazing Nightlight

The Belgian Quarter is one of the trendiest and coolest areas in Cologne. This area is where all the Gen Z'ers and millennials hang out. There is a huge concentration of trendy bars and chic restaurants. It is also one of the best places to stay for foodies and has great shopping and boutique stores. It is also within walking distance to all the central Cologne Carnival party zones. See accommodation options in Belgian Quarter.

Deutz - Most Family Friendly Neighbourhood

Deutz is located across the Rhine River from Cologne's city centre. You are still a quick train ride away from all Cologne's main attractions and carnival celebrations, but because you are away from the nightclubs it is a more family friendly place to stay. It offers amazing views overlooking the river of the Old Town and Cologne Cathedral. See accommodation options in Deutz.

Friesenplatz - Best place to Stay if you are on a Budget

This is another trendy area with an amazing nightlife that is situated between the city centre and the Belgian Quarter. Loads of popular student bars and restaurants are found in this area making it a more budget friendly destination. See accommodation options in Frisenplatz

We recommend booking your accommodation well in advance because the city is so busy. Hotels book out quickly and it can be tough to find a good place to stay.

Fun Tours To Do in Cologne

Cologne Carnival Top Tips & Essential Things to Know

Family fun:A lot of hardcore partying goes on during Cologne Carnival. So, if you attend Carnival with the kids and are searching for family fun only, steer clear of the Cathedral and Zülpicher Strasse, which is near the university. There is a lot of partying and excessive beer drinking in these areas.

Kissing: Just so you are aware, Kissing is a German custom during carnival celebrations, particularly on Thursday, when the women take over the carnival. This kiss is known as a "Bützchen", and is just a quick peck on the cheek. However, there are plenty of high energy kisses taking place, which just symbolize fun and good spirits at carnival.

Bring a bag: Besides the kisses, there are also lots of roses and sweets handed out during the parades. Be like the locals and bring a bag so you can take all the sweets home with you.

Carnival is a marathon not a sprint: Remember Cologne Carnival is six days of non-stop partying, so don't push yourself too early. Try to get some sleep and pace your drinking.

Music: During the crazy days, only carnival music is played. This is not the type of carnival music you associate with Brazil or Trinidad. Cologne has its own type of distinctly German carnival music and bands.

Good vibes: This is a happy time of year for the locals and everyone is in a friendly, joyful and positive spirit. Even if you are alone in Cologne, you will have made new friends within a few minutes.

Get in costume:Trust us, you will feel more out of place wearing plain clothes then if you wear a costume. This event is like Halloween in America and everyone is dressed up. At the bare minimum, wear a funny hat or some sort of accessory.

Wear Good Shoes: You will be on your feet all day, so wear comfy shoes and leave the high heels at home, even if they go with your costume.

Kölsch: During carnival the main traditional carnival drink that is consumed is Kölsch, which is a beer that originates from Cologne. It follows a strict brewing process. The Rules of Kolsch is that if they see you with an empty glass, it will be refilled immediately.

The Dreigestirn (triumvirate): This is the name for the three people that become carnival royalty each year and lead the parades.

Also jetzt mal Butter bei die Fische: man sagt ja wir Fischköppe sind ein ganz eigener Schlag. Das kann man nicht leugnen- was natürlich nicht heisst, dass wir keine hervorragende Gastgeber sind. Im Gegenteil. Unsere Crews im AHOI bieten nicht nur einen super Service, sondern gleich das Rundum-Paket: Gute Drinks & leckeres Essen, ein kleiner Schnack mit den Gästen - genau so wies sein soll.

Das gesunde Restaurant in Freiburg

Seit jeher achten wir im Kartoffelhaus auf bewusste Ernährung. Deshalb verzichten wir auf künstliche Konservierungsmittel, Aromen und Geschmacksverstärker und setzen auf regionale Zutaten.

Damit du genießt anstatt zu verzichten, berücksichtigen wir deine Unverträglichkeiten, Allergien und Vorlieben. Unser Menü umfasst neben traditioneller badischer Küche deshalb auch vegetarische, vegane und glutenfreie Speisen.
